Pressurized gas stovesPressurized gas stoves use either liquid or compressed gas fuels. The fuel container and the burner unit can either be combined in a single unit or connected by a short fuel line. Fuel is forced from the fuel container into the burner unit by pressure. 
Compressed gas such as butane and propane fuels come in their own containers ready to burn. Clean and easy to light and burn hot immediately. However, they can be tricky to use in cold and windy conditions.The containers can't be refilled, and it can be hard to find in many areas of the world. Liquid fuels 
Liquid gas stoves have refillable fuel tanks and are designed to work with a variety of fuels as white gas, kerosene and unleaded gas. The pressure to force the fuel from the container into the burner must be created using a small pump device. The liquid fuel turns into a gas, dependent of the pressure and the heat from the burner.Liquid stoves can be more difficult to use mainly because priming is required. Priming is the process of heating up the burner and fuel line to make sure the liquid fuel converts to gas. Both kerosene or unleaded gas do not work well to start the burning process and may require use of a priming paste to heat up the burner. In general liquid stoves are reliable and efficient in just about any weather conditions. Liquid fuels for gas are inexpensive and widely available. Reminder, both unleaded gas and kerosene tend to smoke and clog fuel lines. Important, unleaded gas is extremely volatile, use it as a last resort only. Return from "Pressurized gas stoves"
